Church Times–Primates agree: hold the moratoriums while we talk further

The Primates have laid down the terms under which the parallel jurisdiction of the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) is to be considered by the Anglican Communion. It will be discussed as a matter of urgency in a “professionally mediated conversation” initiated by the Archbishop of Canterbury, they say in a communiqué.

The communiqué was issued at the end of the Primates’ Meeting in Alexandria on Thursday. All the Primates were there bar the Moderators of the Churches of North and South India and Pakistan, and the Presiding Bishop of the Philippines. They shared, the communiqué states, “a strong desire to see our Christian World Communion flourish and remain united”, and experienced “a discernible mood of graciousness”.

    What moratoriums? They’ve already been cast to the winds, as reports here on T1:9 have shown over and over again.

  2. nwlayman says:

    Is there a Conscience Clause in the agreement for those who cannot accept the moratorium on moratoria?

  3. Irenaeus says:

    [i] Is there a Conscience Clause in the agreement for those who cannot accept the moratorium on moratoria? [/i]

    Just do as ECUSA does: if you don’t like the moratorium, ignore it. You thereby create your own personal ignoratorium.
